Atlanta’s housing market made a tiny gain in November 2012, according the monthly S&P/Case-Shiller home prices report published Tuesday.

Home prices in metro Atlanta were up 0.1 percent from October to November and rose 7.6 percent year-over-year in November.

Nationally, prices were down 0.1 percent from October to November and were up 5.5 percent year-over-year.

“The November monthly figures were stronger than October, with 10 cities seeing rising prices versus seven the month before.” said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “Winter is usually a weak period for housing which explains why we now see about half the cities with falling month-to-month prices compared to 20 out of 20 seeing rising prices last summer. The better annual price changes also point to seasonal weakness rather than a reversal in the housing market.”
